2015 Acin Pinot Noir

This bottling is comprised of 100% estate pinot noir from our Acin vineyard.

VINEYARD

Planted on a gentle, north facing incline across Highway 246 from Melville and Babcock wineries. There are 2 1/2 acres of pinot noir is planted to clone 828.

CRAFT

Only neutral Sirugue barrels are used for 12-18mos. We strive for whole cluster fermentation. We farm with a focus of ripening the stems alongside the fruit, allowing the cluster to be in harmony. Working with the stems allows for wines that are structured, earthy and balanced with our beautiful SRH fruit. We often use the analogy of roasting fish or meat on the bone, the bone offers complex flavors very different than taking it off of the bone to cook it.

CELLARING

All of the single vineyard wines are produced with the intention of aging and cellaring for at least 10 years and can easily be enjoyed after 15 years.
